So i bought one of those theater in a box for the guest room. I have everything hooked up only when i switch over to the PS3 I cant lower the volume from my TV controller it produces sound even when muted. Its super loud. I can only lower it if I'm watching a dvd in the dvd player it came with.

I dont really care if i cant watch movies on the cheap dvd player it came with, i just want it to able listen to the sound when the pop a bluray on the ps3. i got a bunch of of audio and video inputs and outputs but i have no idea what goes where

Is was wondering if theres a way to connect my speakers to my tv without the dvd receiver. All the 5 speakers connect to the sub-woofer. The subwoofer has an option for dvd or switch to tv and its a powered woofer.

right now the speakers are connected to subwoofer which connects via rcas to the dvd/receiver

Also the lcd audio option are

SPDIF: PCM
LEVEL SET: ON
TV SPEAKER OUT

What make/model TV is this? You may need to change your TV audio output from a FIXED level to a VARIABLE level so you can control the volume up and down with the TV remote control. A FIXED level means the audio out comes out very loud and, of course, at a fixed level. It could be the LEVEL SET: has an off or variable option.

Your setup should be . . .

from PS3 to TV with HDMI ( video and audio )
from HTIB to TV with RCA cable ( video )

The OP said sound came out of his stereo speakers NOT the TV yet the only cable connected to the PS3 was the HMDI to the TV. And there was no connection from the TV to the receiver (although there was a connection to Vid 1 "input" of the TV).

What he describes is impossible given the posted connections but should be fairly easy to remedy once we have some more details.

My feeling is the the RCA's the OP mentions are connected to the Vid 1 Input of the TV are actually connected to the "Audio Out" of the TV and "Vid 1 Input" of the Receiver.
